Zhao Leng beat a drum in his heart.

This old man has made it clear that he has the means to contact the blue phoenix, if he really reports the letter, won't he be able to fly with wings? But what is strange is that this old man does not seem to intend to do this, what is his purpose?

"Come on. Sit. The old man asked the two of them to sit first.

Zhao Leng blinked—where is there a place to sit. Chai Guangmo didn't care so much, he also sat on the ground, looked at the old ninth brother, and asked:

"Ninth Master, I knew you weren't a bad person."

"Do you recognize me?" The old ninth brother smiled and said.

"Of course, even if you don't know it, you've heard of it." Chai Guangmo said as he glanced at Zhao Leng and beckoned her to sit down quickly.

Despite his reluctance, Zhao Leng could only squeeze out a smile on his face, followed behind Chai Guangmo, found a relatively clean place, and sat down.

"Do you know who I am?" Old Brother Jiu asked mysteriously.

"Yes." Chai Guang didn't hesitate: "You are the head of this village. ”

"Oh?" Old Brother Jiu laughed vigorously: "Aren't you strange? The person who claimed to be the Blue Phoenix just now, and at this time, a village chief appeared? ”

Chai Guangmo smiled: "Blue Phoenix doesn't necessarily really have legal rights. ”

Old Brother Jiu paused, shook his head and said, "Where does she have it, of course not." She's just exercising power on my behalf. You're right, I'm the head of this village. ”

Zhao Leng listened and couldn't help asking, "However, why did you allow her to be the boss in the village, but you ...... But in such a place? ”

"What's wrong with this place?" Old Brother Jiu smiled bitterly: "Back in our village, this was already the most luxurious house in the village, is there anything wrong?" ”

The two were silent, and the old man said: "You will naturally see it when you look down from the mountain, and the large houses all over the ground are what the village used to look like. Things have only gotten better since this girl came. ”

"You call her a girl?" Chai Guangmo asked, "Do you know her?" Started before. ”

"Acquaintance?" Old Brother Jiu smiled: "Don't you understand, this ...... This blue phoenix was a poor child who grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village thirty years ago. Now that I have come back to the village, how can I stop her from relieving this dying village? ”

"Is that really the case?" Chai Guangmo boldly asked, "Do you know what is in the greenhouse on the top of the mountain?" ”

Old Brother Jiu coughed and said, "What are you talking about?" I see you two, there are some things, it is better to ask the girl if you ask me. ”

"You can rest assured of her and let her run the village?" Chai Guangmo pressed forward step by step.

Zhao Leng was a little worried, and her face was sweating - she was afraid that this old man would turn his face.

"Hehe, you, you-" The old man turned around, bent his waist, and looked at Chai Guangmo and Zhao Leng's eyes changed, and suddenly came: "I'm afraid you're not ordinary people." ”

Zhao Leng's heart sank.

Chai Guangmo got up: "It's really not." ”

"Where did you find out where you got here?" The old man asked shrewdly.

"From Lincheng - Lincheng is at the foot of the mountain." Chai Guangmo said.

"Oh, Lincheng, it's there! I understand. The old man nodded: "Is something wrong?" ”

Chai Guangmo's face sank: "Lincheng has recently encountered a group of criminals, who have violated the law and discipline in the city, sold contraband, killed people and sold goods, and did all kinds of evil. The city, which has been in harmony for five years, has now become a panic among people. ”

The old man was silent.

Zhao Leng also added: "We followed the clues all the way to find here. If you have any clues, old man, tell them both of you—if they have a bad idea, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid that the village is also dangerous. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to call me an old gentleman - I'm just a down-and-out old immortal, so I'm afraid that I'll lose my life - what you say is very reasonable, but I'm old, and I can't move when I'm old."

"But!" Zhao Leng wanted to say something, but the old man smiled and stopped her:

"Girl, you need to be clear - I can tell Blue Phoenix at any time, and I can tell the people in the village about you, but I don't. I'm just too old to wade into these troubled waters – and besides, it's your job. That's all I can say. ”

"Old-" Zhao Leng wanted to say something, but Chai Guangmo suddenly pulled her up, and the two left directly.

"He must know something!" Zhao Leng did not relent.

"I know." Chai Guangmo's expression was serious: "But what does he know?" Which side he's on, you know? ”

"I-" Zhao Leng lowered his head.

"We have been exposed, what the situation in the village is now, we don't know, we must be more careful in our actions in the future, no one can guarantee that this old man will not reveal our identity." Chai Guangmo said.

"So what now?" Zhao was in a hurry.

Chai Guangmo narrowed his eyes: "We have to create an accident." ”

"Accidents?" Zhao Leng blinked.

"Zhao Leng." Chai Guangmo pulled Zhao Leng to the outside of the house, they hid in a corner, Chai Guangmo suddenly stopped, grabbed Zhao Leng's wrist with both hands, stared at her with his eyes, and asked:

"Are you afraid of death?"

He whispered.

"Huh??"

Listening to Chai Guangmo's magnetic voice, Zhao Leng was dumbfounded.

On the other side, Zheng Bang saw Xiao Xiao.

The two hadn't seen each other for fifteen years. Zheng Bang thought that he would never see her again in his life. It wasn't until the day the ceremony was announced that he had finally waited for this opportunity—it must have been a curtain from heaven.

Zheng Bang thought to himself that his luck in this life must be used thoroughly.

Xiao Xiao actually became the heir - and he was the stranger.

It was all too sudden.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to rush to the village before the fog. Following Zhao Leng and Chai Guangmo all the way to the river, he saw two young people, a man and a woman, talking to each other, and didn't take it to heart.

The two seemed to be strangers as well, but suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the familiar emerald red and dark green fancy dress.

Zheng Bang will not forget, this is a common ritual dress he saw when he was young, and it belongs to the unique sacrificial clothes of the family head.

And the one who wears this wind chime fluttering lightly is Xiao Xiao.

Her face was flustered at this time, as if she was in a hurry to go somewhere.

Zheng Bang's mind moved, and he couldn't hold back his steps, although he was a little sorry for Chai Guangmo and Zhao Leng for doing this, but after all, these two are also adults, so they don't have to follow everything by themselves.

He didn't say a word and kept up with Xiao Xiao.

Along the way, Zheng Bang didn't say a word, for fear of disturbing this smart elf. But he often wanted to pretend to say hello and appear in front of her, but he couldn't find the right time.

followed Xiao Xiao, and it didn't take long for him to go all the way to the bridge near the village management office.

Xiao Xiao's footsteps quickened, and hurriedly crossed the creek and river, the soles of his feet were barefoot, and he stepped on the riverbank with one foot, and suddenly his steps were unsteady, and the whole person was crooked, and it was soft like an onion on the bank of the river.

Zheng Bang's eyes were sharp, his eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed to Xiao Xiao with an arrow step, supporting her with both hands.

"Ahh Xiao Xiao looked back and said with a smile, and then her face suddenly froze, her eyes moved slightly, like a frightened little animal, she got up, withdrew her hand, hurriedly ran back two or three steps, and looked at Zheng Bang in disbelief.

"Ahh

She screamed as if she had lost her voice, turned around and ran.

"Wait." Zheng Bang was stupid, he hurriedly chased after him, twisted the little girl's arm, and frowned: "You wait for me." ”

Xiao Xiao didn't say a word, didn't look back, and went to the village center management office with few people, Zheng Bang walked with long steps, and caught up in a few steps, he was like a thick wall in front of Xiao Xiao.

"I know, you're Xiao Xiao, right." Zheng Bang said.

Xiao Xiao lowered his head: "You recognized the wrong person." ”

She seemed to want to get rid of Zheng Bang, but she was so thin that no matter how she struggled, she couldn't shake it off, so she stomped her feet in a hurry.

"You're Xiao Xiao, I think it's good." Zheng Bang insisted: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, the last time I talked to you, it's been more than ten years, you probably don't remember me, it's me, Zheng Bang." ”

Xiao Xiao shook his head: "I don't recognize you." ”

"You know." Zheng Bang stared at Xiao Xiao's eyes honestly, put his hands on her shoulders, and his eyes flashed: "Of course you recognize you, I can see you at a glance, and you must also recognize me." ”

Xiao Xiao gritted his teeth and looked left and right, as if he was worried about someone, and as if he was looking for something, his thin shoulders trembled slightly, and his eyes flowed.

"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Bang saw the clue.

"How am I?" Xiao Xiao stomped his foot, pointed at Zheng Bang and said, "You, you, you weird person, why are you blocking my way, I, I'm in a hurry!" Don't spoil my big thing! ”

"Big deal?" Zheng Bang wondered, he looked back and found the mourning hall not far from the village management office - he remembered that the mourning hall had been mysterious recently, and he never revealed the identity of the successor, and then looked at Xiao Xiao's clothes, and suddenly realized.

He immediately grabbed Xiao Xiao's arm—the slender white flower arm was pinched in Zheng Bang's broad palm, like a slender and long green onion: "I know, you're going to do the ritual." ”

"yes." Xiao Xiao nodded: "What are you still stopping me from?" ”

"If you're going to the ceremony, then I'm going to keep you." Zheng Bang seemed to have found an opportunity all of a sudden, a little excited, and said, "Come, follow me." ”

Xiao Xiao desperately opened Zheng Bang, glared at him, and put down his dirty mouth fiercely: "What kind of illness are you, go, go, don't play with me here, what are you going to do?" I really don't have time to talk to you! ”

"Don't say that." Zheng Bang patted his chest: "Even if you don't remember me, you should tell you about it, I think so." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Then I guess you're the new heir to this village, aren't you?" Zheng Bang asked.

"Isn't that what?" Xiao Xiao was a little impatient. "Is it important to you? It's none of your business, right? ”

"Yes." Zheng Bang smiled, his broad face was like a cracked grapefruit: "What do you guess I am doing in the village at this juncture?" ”

"How do I know?" Xiao Xiao Nunu mouth.
